The Red Sox hopefully will return to full health by the end of this weekend.
Boston manager Alex Cora during a WEEI appearance Wednesday offered updates on Kiké Hernández and Christian Arroyo. Both players have been out since last Thursday due to a sore hamstring and hand injury, respectively.
Cora revealed that Hernández and Arroyo likely will play two games for the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox this weekend before returning to the major league club. He also said that Danny Santana, a potential solution in the outfield, will start Wednesday night for the WooSox.
The Red Sox, losers of two in a row, host the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday at Fenway Park.
Eduardo Rodriguez will start for Boston, with James Kaprielian toeing the rubber for Oakland.
